Warriors’ Steve Kerr gives impassioned plea to lawmakers after Texas elementary school shooting

Kerr said he was “fed up” after the latest mass shooting that took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, about 350 miles south of Dallas. And the Warriors coach took aim at politicians who refuse to pass a bipartisan law that would make background checks mandatory for every gun sale.
